Background:
|
Employee health and rising healthcare costs continue to concern all employers in both the public and private sectors. MPS continues to look at ways to address employee health, wellness, and healthcare costs. Specifically, in the forecasting process, Milliman and Willis Towers Watson (WTW), formerly Willis, indicated that an expected increase in costs and expenditures was likely to result in an $18 million increase to the health plan as soon as FY17.
In August 2014, the Milwaukee Board of School Directors adopted Resolution 1415R-007 regarding healthcare delivery options:
RESOLVED, That a communication system be developed for the provision of healthcare benefits and services that both reaches all district employees and positions employees to access and receive the necessary support in navigating through their healthcare issues: and be it
FURTHER RESOLVED, That an inter-district committee be created that will welcome ideas from all district personnel as well as key stakeholders regarding healthcare options and savings mechanisms; and be it
FURTHER RESOLVED, That existing resources from the Office of Accountability and Efficiency, the Office of Human Capital, and the Research and Development Department within the Office of School Innovation be utilized to collaboratively define and implement a process and create tools to garner feedback on healthcare matters as well as carry forward the tenets of this Resolution using a committee structure; and be it
FURTHER RESOLVED, That a healthcare-delivery proposal be developed that incorporates the vision and meets the needs of a cross-section of district employees, which is to be brought forward for presentation to and approval by the Board no later than the April 2015 Board cycle.
As part of this Board action, the Office of Human Resources and the Office of Accountability and Efficiency worked with WTW to begin the process to explore the feasibility of providing an employee On-site clinic.
Beginning in late 2015, the Administration began a comprehensive review of potential on-site clinics. This was accomplished through two pathways: a feasibility study, and feedback from stakeholders and their representatives.
The purpose of the feasibility study was to determine if an on-site employee clinic would produce the desired result of reducing healthcare costs by reducing future medical claims, both in number and severity.
